Permssions

Hey,

 

I created 2 users, which created their home folders  I then created a (non-home folder) share, and it defaults to anonymous.  So I changed the permssions so only the admins and users group have read/write under Network Access and only admins and users have read/write under File Access.

 

This doesn't work (nobody can access there share)  If I then put Folder Owner and Folder Group as read/write under File Access it works, but this seems to include the Everyone groups in the permissions when viewd from Windows - Everyone is unchecked on the NAS.

 

What's up?

Re: Permssions

Just figured it out.  I changed the permissions after creating some folders and populating them.  If I create a new folder, it has no access for Everyone when viewed in Windows.

 

Can I reset the existing folders to have the new permissions?  Is that what the Reset permissions thing is for?

 

Oh, what is the difference between Network Access and File Access?  Is it the equivalent of Windows' Share (Network) permissions and NTFS (File) permissions?

Hi module12,

 

Resetting the permission of the share includes the subfolders. Check the following articles for the difference between network and file access permissions.

 

Network Access


File Access

 

Hope this helps!

 

 

Kind regards,
